Pass and play for 2 to 12 friends. Say a word before the fuse runs out.
Word Bomb is hot potato with words: a party game for 2 to 12 people and one phone. Letters show up on the screen, you shout a word that contains them, tap Pass and hand the phone to the next person before the bomb goes off in your hands.
The fuse is hidden, so nobody knows when it will blow. The ticking gets faster, the phone starts to shake, and then it explodes on whoever is holding it. That player loses a heart. Run out of hearts and you're out. The last one left wins.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Letter combo: say a word with ING, TR or QU in it. Pick easy, medium, hard or a mix
• Category: name a fruit, a country, a pizza topping or something smaller than a phone. There are 70 categories to play through
• Hot potato: forget the words and just pass the bomb as fast as you can
FOR GAME NIGHT
• Pass and play with 2 to 12 players on one phone, no second device needed
• Compete individually or split into 2, 3 or 4 teams that share their hearts
• Give everyone between 1 and 5 hearts
• Set a time range between 5 seconds and 2 minutes. The bomb explodes at a random moment within that range
• The explosion is loud, the screen shakes and the vibration builds as the fuse burns down. If that is too much, Calm mode turns off the shake and the flash
• Arguing about whether a word counts? Turn on Check words and type each one. The offline dictionary checks it and stops anyone from repeating a word in the same round
WORDS IN 6 LANGUAGES
Letters and categories come in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Hebrew. The game starts in your phone's language and you can change it on the setup screen. The menus are translated into 16 languages.
CATEGORY PACKS
Classic has 34 everyday categories. The Party, World and Brain packs each add 12 more, and they open up after 3, 6 and 10 games. If you'd rather not wait, a short video opens a pack right away.
PLAYS OFFLINE
You don't need internet or an account. Type in everyone's names, then light the fuse.
About ads: Word Bomb is supported by ads. A full screen ad may appear between games, after the winner screen, and never during a round. Videos only open category packs early, and watching them is up to you. Pay once to remove the ads between games.
